Resident Council welcomes the involvement of any individual who receives housing and/or support services from Waterloo Regional Homes for Mental Health Inc. This group meets monthly to socialize, and plan special events and activities. Events include the annual summer picnic, the Christmas party (attended by consumers, family, friends, staff and board members), talent show, craft afternoons, bingo, bus trips and games days, just to name a few. A message centre information line features a recorded message with the monthly events along with registration instructions.

Resident Council also oversees the ‘Loan Fund’ which provides interest-free emergency loans to people supported by the agency. The Loan Fund originated from seed money donated by individuals and families for this purpose a number of years ago. The number of loans approved is based on the money in the fund. If you are supported by the agency and need financial assistance in an emergency situation, contact the Loan Fund Coordinator to obtain and complete an application form.
